I had this surgery in May of last year. Seems like we were similarly advanced as I had very diminished nerve response in the non-dominant arm along with muscle atrophy. The surgeon recommended against nerve transposition as the recovery can be trickier and, if the nerve decompression surgery isn't enough, you can go back and have the transposition done. Surgery was day-surgery without general anesthesia but with sedation so I slept through it. Very little pain or discomfort and a really quick heal. Nerve function and normal use of the hand returned within a few months and, a year along, it was clearly the right choice. Feel free to reach out or ask for any more info.
